punqsux Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 yes, im familiar with the product description, i was more or less asking if it was a good drive or not, looking for reviews, or people who have had experiance with it.
mugs Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I don't have personal experience with that drive, but: - 5400 RPM is slow, 7200 RPM is standard now - I don't see any mention of the cache, but it's likely 2 MB. I believe 8 MB is pretty standard now. - I don't see any mention of the warranty length. 1 year? 3 years? 5 years? On the plus side, it's a 2.5" drive (laptop size), so it's pretty portable. If you don't need the extra portability (personally I don't carry external hard drives around in my pocket...) or you want more than the dismal 40 GB of storage space that drive comes with, this could be an example of something you could get a better deal on year-round. Hard drive deals are a dime a dozen. I just recently bought a 300 GB, 7200 RPM, 8 MB cache, 5-year warranty drive for $79 after rebate... plus $20 for an external enclosure.
